Investing in Automotive Data With Otonomo Stock

The most credible bull case for Tesla right now involves big data. The race to capture the trillion-dollar autonomous vehicle opportunity will be won by the company with the most extensive training data set. Hundreds of thousands of Teslas are out there right now gathering big data to train their autonomous algorithms on. These connected cars are then able to share with one another so that they eventually become indistinguishable from the Borg.

Driver safety has been a big focus for IoT companies like Cambridge Mobile Telematics or Zendrive which both collect data on driver safety and use it to make people safer drivers. While these use cases will become less important once we reach full autonomy, there is plenty of other data cars can generate.
